Tile area to be cropped is extensive

TIE deep snow of this winter will

ami q large crop can be confidently
expected. We wisL now to say to
oui, farmers, diversity your crops.
Don't raise all wheat, but have
wheat, oats, barley, flax, corn and
potatoes. If you have something of
all these, you are bound to make a
handsome profit ON some one or two
of the crops grown; besides it is bet
ter for your land to change from
one kind of grain to another. To
raise wheat on piece of land year
after year will exhaust it in few
yeats and it win be only by great
labor you can induce it to produce
anything. 1t strikes us that it is
q gtlod time now to experiment in
raising tame grasses. Talk this
matter over ia your alliance-let
one man try 3 or acres of blue
grass, another the same in timothy,
another clover, another hungarian
and so on through the list. and thus
